Kevin Mahoney, Chief Executive of Mavinwood said:
'These are very good results as we continue to build strong positions in both
our targeted markets, emergency repair and document handling. The three
acquisitions we made during the year are performing well and as with all our
acquisitions are benefiting from continuity of senior management. We anticipate
further benefits as we continue to integrate the businesses. Our net debt is
£17.6m which gives us significant scope to make further acquisitions in cash.
When we floated on AIM in 2004 our strategy was to build a market leading UK
support services business in our chosen sectors. These results confirm that we
are delivering on this strategy'

BACKGROUND
Mavinwood was launched on AIM on 5 November 2004 and is pursuing a buy and build
strategy in the support services sector. The strategy is to acquire and develop
support services businesses which have the potential for growth, either
organically or in combination with other complementary businesses. The focus is
on the emergency repair (especially where there is an insured repair) and
document handling sectors.
CHIEF EXECUTIVES REVIEW
RESULTS
Turnover in 2006 was £42,453,000 (2005:£15,264,000) and the profit before tax
was £1,589,000 (2005: £528,000). The profit before goodwill amortisation, share
based payments charge and notional interest on contingent consideration was
£4,958,000, (see Profit before taxation section below) (2005: £1,495,000). The
basic earnings per ordinary share were 0.10p, (2005: 0.05p).
However, the measure we focus on as a Board is the fully diluted earnings per
share before goodwill amortisation, share based payments charge and notional
interest on contingent consideration. At this level, the earnings per share for
2006 were 0.80p compared to 0.53p in 2005. This is an impressive growth of some
51%.
At 31 December 2006, net debt of the Group amounted to £17,649,000 (2005:
£4,335,000).
The Mavinwood Group comprises two divisions, Emergency Repair and Document
Handling.

* ANSA 6 months in 2005

*** Excluding share based payments charges
The significant increase in sales and profit in this division is principally due
to the fact that ANSA was only included for six months in 2005 compared to a
full twelve months in 2006 and that the 2006 figures include Independent
Inspections for five and a half months and Mono for four months.
This division includes three businesses which serve principally the insured
repair sector. Approximately 90% of sales in 2006 were to the leading insurance
companies and we also service a range of housing associations and commercial
companies.
All three businesses share a common business process which is:
•Take the emergency call from the customer via the insurer
•Arrange a survey to validate or repudiate the claim and cost out the
repair
•Undertake the repair either by directly employed labour or sub
contractors
ANSA specialises in drainage surveys and repair; Independent Inspections in
flooring surveys and restoration and Mono in building fabric surveys and
repairs, often due to water damage.
ANSA and Independent Inspections are national businesses and Mono is currently a
regional business in the North West.
There is some customer overlap between the businesses but one of our
opportunities moving forward is to offer all our services to a wider range of
customers.
All these businesses operate to high service standards. Examples of key
performance indicators that are monitored on a continuous basis are:
•Response times in terms of contacting a policyholder after they report an
insured event
•Courtesy of staff and customer satisfaction
•Average cost per claim
There are integration benefits to flow between the businesses which have begun
in late 2006. A range of integration projects are underway including:
•Assessing and optimising IT platforms
•Purchasing initiatives
•Extending Mono's reach across the country
•Optimising back office functions
•Reviewing marketing opportunities and widening the service offering
As well as good organic growth within the division, we will continue to look for
bolt on acquisitions which would further enhance our offering.
Turning to the highlights within each operation:
ANSA
ANSA's volume of instructions grew satisfactorily comparing 2006 with calendar
2005. The business tends to produce higher volumes in the second half of the
year. From October we were also awarded 100% of volumes from one leading insurer
instead of 50% and this arrangement will run for three years.
Operating profit at ANSA has increased due to volume growth, cost reductions and
productivity gains. Customers have benefited from strong performance in claims
validation, service delivery and cost control.
ANSA has extended its drainage services to a wider range of customers in the
commercial sector. This initiative has had minimal impact in 2006 but good
volumes of new work are coming through in 2007 to supplement business flowing
from the renewal of a contract with a major high street retailer for 3 years.
ANSA also owns a small business offering Health and Safety training. Revenues
from ANSA Training dipped in 2006 as a number of trainers left the business.
INDEPENDENT INSPECTIONS
Independent Inspections' initial contribution was hampered by delays in bringing
on new business from insurers and a weak volume of instructions in the last few
weeks of the year. Whereas volumes through the year were running above 2005
levels, in December volumes dropped below those of December 2005. This was an
industry wide issue and not peculiar to Independent Inspections.
A series of profit improvement opportunities are being implemented in
Independent Inspections in the second quarter.
MONO
Mono has progressed strongly under our ownership. Volumes are well up over the
comparable four months in 2005 and the business is looking to widen the
postcodes it covers outwards from the Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds area.
The number of full time employees has increased from 337 at 7 September to 373
at 31 December 2006 and has increased further since the year end.

*** Excluding share based payments charges
The document handling division serves a wide range of customers, including law
firms, corporates of varying sizes, financial services companies, councils and
health trusts. Our customers are mostly based in London and the South across to
Bristol and South Wales. The majority of sales are the storage and retrieval of
archive boxes but also individual files and other material such as magnetic
media and film.
Scanning of documents on a selective basis is also offered to clients. Shredding
of documents at the end of their useful lives is currently outsourced, although
this would form a logical product extension.
The key non-financial performance indicators are:
•% accuracy in retrieving items
•% of items retrieved in accordance with terms of service, such as same
day or next day delivery
We are well advanced with our integration plans for Restore and Wansdyke.
Approximately £96,000 of integration costs have been charged against Wansdyke's
profits in 2006. The Restore operating system of bar coding is being applied at
Wansdyke and the back office functions are increasingly being integrated. Total
employees at Wansdyke have dropped from 75 at February 2006 to 63 at 31 December
2006 by natural wastage as systems have become more automated.
We operate a combination of freehold and leasehold sites at Wansdyke and Restore
respectively. Due to the absence of rental charges, the return on sales at
Wansdyke is higher than that at Restore.
The market for the physical storage of archives continues to grow well in excess
of GDP, with especially strong growth in sectors such as professional services.
Overall volume growth in Restore and Wansdyke compared to the comparable period
in 2005 was 7%.
We still have significant amounts of undeveloped space at our underground
storage facilities near Bath which we will be looking to fit out over the next
couple of years
CENTRAL COSTS
Central costs have increased from £495,000 to £969,000. The Group has been fully
operational throughout 2006 whereas in 2005 the Company was a cash shell for the
first five months of that year.
INTEREST
Net interest payable amounted to £1,436,000 as we borrowed to fund the
acquisitions of Wansdyke and Mono. Included within the net interest charge is
£158,000 representing the notional interest on contingent consideration due on
the acquisitions of Independent Inspections and Mono. The discount rate applied
in this calculation was 7.9%
PROFIT BEFORE TAXATION
The profit before tax for the year ended 31 December 2006 was £1,589,000 (2005:
£528,000). However, the Directors believe that an adjusted measure of profit
before tax and earnings per share provides shareholders with a more appropriate
representation of the underlying earnings derived from the Group's business. The
items adjusted for in arriving at that underlying level are as follows:
2006 2005
£'000 £'000
Profit before tax 1,589 528
Amortisation of goodwill 2,172 860
Share based payments charge 1,039 107
Notional interest on contingent consideration 158 -
---------- ----------
Adjusted profit before tax 4,958 1,495
========== ==========
Neither the amortisation of goodwill nor the notional interest on the contingent
consideration attracts any tax relief. The share based payments charge only
attracts a potential benefit through deferred tax.
TAXATION
Due to the distortions caused by the non-deductibility of goodwill and the
notional interest on the contingent consideration, the reported tax charge is
75.2% (2005:80.9%). However, the underlying tax rate during 2006 was 30.4%, as a
percentage of adjusted profit before taxation. (2005: 30.2%).
EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS)
Basic EPS is 0.10p, which compares with 0.05p in 2005. Basic EPS adjusted as
above was 0.89p (2005: 0.56p). Assuming the exercise of all options and awards
under the LTIP plus the conversion of the convertible A shares at an average
price in 2006 of 13.93p (2005: 10.05p), the fully diluted adjusted EPS becomes
0.80p (2005:0.53p) an increase of 51%.
SHARE ISSUES
New equity was issued on three occasions in 2006.
• 9.8m shares were allotted on 31 May at 11.0p to the vendors of Restore
in settlement of contingent consideration due. This amount of £1,075,000
represented half the contingent consideration with the remainder settled in
cash.
• 100m new shares were placed on 17 July with existing and new
shareholders at 12.0p per share. The proceeds of £12m were used to fund the
cash element of the acquisition of Independent Inspections of £9m. The
remainder or over-raise of approximately £1.8m after costs was used to
reduce debt in the short term. A further 7.8m shares were allotted to the
vendor of Independent Inspections with a value of £1m.
• 2m shares were allotted at 15p per share on 7 September as part
consideration for the acquisition of Mono.
ACQUISITIONS
Details of all the Group's acquisitions are set out in note 5 to this
announcement. The total initial investment in these acquisitions was £30.4
million with estimated contingent consideration payable in cash of £5.0 million,
subject to meeting profit improvement objectives. The maximum amount of
contingent consideration payable is £5 million. During the year the Company paid
£2,150,000 in contingent consideration relating to the 2005 acquisition of
Restore. Approximately £0.5 million may be paid as contingent consideration in
2007. The Group will continue to pursue acquisition targets that support its
product and service development.
BALANCE SHEET
Net assets increased to £42,075,000 in the year reflecting the share issues to
part fund the acquisitions plus the profit in the year of £394,000. Goodwill on
the five acquisitions, at 31 December 2006 was £52,418,000 (2005: £31,224,000).
Tangible fixed assets totalled £11,084,000 (2005: £1,996,000) principally
comprising the freehold underground storage facilities at Wansdyke, but also
computer systems, storage racking and vehicles.
Operating working capital (excluding cash) amounted to a net £2,566,000 at 31
December 2006. Net debt at the year end totalled £17,649,000 after deferred
financing costs of £310,000. In order to part fund our acquisitions, we operate
a number of facilities led by Allied Irish Banks, plc (AIB) which currently run
through to September 2011. At 31 December 2006, the Group had unutilised
committed bank facilities totalling £3,300,000 in addition to cash of £
1,850,000.
CASH FLOW
The net cash inflow from operating activities after capital expenditure was
£3,564,000, (2005: £1,027,000). This inflow is after taking account of an
outflow of £2,369,000 in the year on working capital. This outflow is partially
due to an outflow of VAT at Independent Inspections and Mono totalling £937,000.
The VAT related to the sales of their respective office buildings just prior to
acquisition.
Gross capital expenditure totalled £1,168,000, (2005: £182,000). Significant
expenditures comprised the fitting out of empty space in the underground storage
areas at Wansdyke and installing new racking at both Restore and Wansdyke. At
ANSA, we acquired the trade and assets of a small sub-contractor The Drain
Technicians, for £143,000. In November 2006 we sold and leased back the vehicle
fleet at Independent Inspections. This transaction realised £0.7 million in cash
and will also result in operating savings on the fleet going forward,
CHANGES IN UK ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
With effect from 1 January 2006, the Group adopted FRS 20, Share Based Payments.
FRS 20 seeks to reflect the cost of share based remuneration, including share
option schemes, in the profit and loss account. The effect of FRS 20 has been
reflected both in 2006 and in a restatement of 2005.
OUTLOOK
The Group ended the year with two well established divisions and a current
market capitalisation in excess of £80 million. Integration benefits are coming
through in the two divisions as well as good underlying organic growth. The
emergency repair and document handling industries continue to grow strongly in
2007 and all our businesses are trading in line with expectations. We still plan
to add further complementary businesses to these operations on a selective basis
and given the cash generative qualities of the business, there is significant
scope to acquire further businesses for cash.

4 EARNINGS PER ORDINARY SHARE
Basic earnings per share have been calculated on the profit after taxation for
the year and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the
year.
Adjusted earnings per share which are before goodwill amortisation, share based
payments charge and notional interest on contingent consideration have been
presented in addition to the basic earnings per share since, in the opinion of
the directors, this provides shareholders with a more appropriate representation
of the underlying earnings derived from the Group's businesses.

The directors consider each acquisition separately for the purpose of
determining the amortisation period of any goodwill that arises. The goodwill
arising from the three acquisitions in 2006 is being amortised over 20 years.
The amount of contingent consideration expected to be payable in respect of the
acquisition of Restore was reduced by £0.5 million between 31 December 2005 and
May 2006 due to profit levels attained. Certain leasehold improvements at ANSA
were revalued downwards by £0.1 million during 2006.
WANSDYKE

handling business for £11m in cash.

The only fair value adjustment is to net assets in relation to the freehold and
long leasehold storage facilities at Wansdyke which were valued upon acquisition
by an external firm of Chartered Surveyors.
INDEPENDENT INSPECTIONS
On 18 July, Mavinwood acquired Independent Inspections Holdings Limited for an
initial consideration of £11.9m. Net funds of £2.9m were left in the balance
sheet on completion. The consideration was satisfied by £10.9m in cash and £1m
in shares. The cash element was funded by a Placing of £12m at 12p per share.
The ''over raise'' in the Placing after costs was approximately £1.8m which was
used to reduce debt in the short term. The vendor, who is staying with the
business, can earn contingent consideration of up to £4m linked to the future
performance of the business. £2m would be payable in March 2008 assuming EBITA
of £1.7m is delivered in 2007 and a further £2m would be payable in cash in
March 2009 on the basis that EBITA of £2m is delivered in 2008. The maximum
total consideration is £15.9m.

MONO
On 7 September, Mavinwood completed the acquisition of Mono Services Limited for
an initial consideration of £6m, utilising some of the debt capacity generated
by the Placing. Costs of the acquisition were £0.3m. The £6m of initial
consideration comprises cash of £5.7m and £0.3m in ordinary shares, priced at
15p. Contingent consideration of up to another £1m could also be payable, in two
amounts, over the next two years. This payment is linked to the levels of EBITA
attained by Mono in each of the two years ending 31 August 2007 and 2008.
